Description:
|
|
In 1774 Rossi received a commission from Prince Marcantonio IV Borghese for the fresco of Marcus Furius Camillus Expelling the Gauls (1776-1779) for the entrance hall (Salone) of the Villa Borghese, Rome. This shows him restraining his delight in exuberance and creating a more controlled composition. Rossi continued to work in the Rococo or Baroque idiom, even after the Neoclassical style became popular. He blended the legend of the victorious hero Furius Camillus with an allegory on Rome, its founders, its virtues, and its glory. The full title is given as Marcus Furius Camillus Fighting Brennus and his Gauls, while Romulus Entreats Jupiter to Help Rome. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
